the answer was to the same effect.
'"The horders was not TO admit gents
without luggage" Bishops was no
different to any one else" every
one that wanted a bed in the middle
OF the night was either O. bishop or q
member of parliament" THAT dodge
:%%a&s played otut." and So forth.
The last door which the unhappy
prelate tried was that OF the Hotel
Metropolis. Here earlier in the night,
the dinner OF the old Wintonians had
taken place, and the poor bishop had
a faint hope that, having left the
house an hour or two before, he would
at last be recognized. But the night
porter knew him not, and there was
no one else about who did. AS he
stood outside the door, wondering
whether he would be sent to prison if
he lay down for an hour or two under
the shelter of the railway. bridge, two
gentlemen suddenly emerged from the
hotel. The bishop looked despairing-
ly towards them, and as he did so his
countenance lit up with Joy. They
were two of the Old Wintonians who
had been at the dinner, and one of
thems Mr.. Sargisson, had
been a favorite pupil OF the
bishops during the time he was a
master at 'Winton. They had re.
manned when the dinner party broke
up to spend an hour or two with a
friend who happened to be staying in
the hotel. In another moment his
lordship had accosted them and ex-
planned his unfortunate predicament.
His first suggestion was that they
should assist him in obtaining g. bed at
the hotel. The h~ospitable Mr.. Sargis-
son, however, could not hear of this.
He had rooms close at hand, in a
quiet street off the Strand, and in
sisted that the bishop should occupy
his bed for the night.
Dawson, here, has a spare bed"
he said, "only q few streets of, and he
will take me in, l have no doubt"
Mr.. Pawson willingly assented. He
was at first d~esirous that the
bishop should occupy his spare
bed; but Sargisson insisted
that his lordship should have
a room to himself, and this was
agreed to. The party then adjourned
to Mr.. SargIsson's rooms, where the
bishop wrote a note explaining mat
tiers to Mrs. Pybus, which the other
two gentlemen undertook to put into
the letter-box at SINNERS hotel. This
done, the two Wintonians departed,
leaving the bishop to forget his troub.
les in Mr.. S~argIsson's comfortable
bed.
The bishop slumbered peacefully till
about 8 o'clock next morning. Then
he was awakened by the sound of
voices in the adjoining room-a dimin-
utive ante-chamber opening from the
passage, which Mr.. S~argisson had
pointed out with pride as his dressing
room. The bishop listened in q hall
dreamy way, and perceived that the
voices were those of females, but their
conversation was in whispers.
II can't hear anything. Pm sure
he's asleep" were the first words the
bishop distinguished, after a pause,
which suggested that the speaker had
been listening at the door.
"Sargisson's landlady, | SUPPOSE"
his lordship said to himself, come to
wake him up. how surprised she will
be TO ind q stranger here!"
If it was Sargisson's landlady, she
was a very frivolous person. The
last remark was followed by more
whispers; then there was more sup
pressed gigcling, then more whispering,
amid which the Bishop thought he
caught the words Gold Pig" then
more Cycling than ever. Next amid
continued Cycling, there was q sound
OF splashing in ~Sargisson's bath; then
silence. Suddenly the room was flung
open. Before the bishop, VINO
had his back to the door,
knew what was happening
souse came something like a cold
wet thunderbolt on his episcopal pate.
In an instant, the pillow, the bed
and the bishop were drenched
with cold water. The prelate started
up In amazement and indignation.
and found himself face TO face with o
remarkably pretty girl, who looked
about seventeen. Another, who might
been q year or two older, peeped
Eurtively round the door.
The bishops amazement was a

truders. The vision of the hoary
locks and reverend features on which

The bishop heard them both fy down
